In the context of an online only brand, customer experience refers to how a brand manages to engage its customers across the web. Customer experience describes a customer’s perception of how a brand interacts with them. An impactful first impression provided by the brand to the consumer, is in terms of the product proposition offered. It's important to clearly communicate what online experiences and content a brand can offer for each site, application and type of social presence. It should state the intrinsic benefits a visitor will get from the site, content, web service or functionality – and how that ties to the overall product or service.
Another factor that imprints on the mind of the customer and helps in enhancing brand loyalty is the App/Website Interface and accessibility. An optimized User Interface is the secret science behind any successful e-commerce site. To attract customers, keep them engaged, retain them & boost revenue, a site must be compelling and equally interactive.
